Pros

They will hire anyone that is licensed. Good place to learn how to cut hair hands on out of school.

Cons

I worked for a few different owners and went to several huddles (manager and owner conventions) and I will say not one owner actually cares about their employees, they are only considered a number. … half of them don’t even know who their employees are because they have the store managers run everything , literally running a whole Company to get paid a salary that you can hardly live off of so that the owners are thriving. Imagine spending every ounce of energy building a business so that an investor gets rich and you can barely live. The hourly wage is terrible for how much work they require the employees to do. they make it almost impossible to make extra money with bonuses or commission because they set the bar to be impossible. Everything is corporate and has to be done in a corporate matter. During the pandemic in 2020 they opens their stores as soon as the governor allowed, while it’s great that they have their employees that opportunity to be able to make money, they didn’t do it for them , the did it for themselves and even raised prices on services but not one employee got a raise in their salary. This place will burn you out so quick , it made me hate cutting hair until I found another place that wasn’t corporate and realized it wasn’t the career I chose but the work environment. There are no real benefits, no health insurance, no 401k , no vacation or sick pay, and no paid holidays but you’re closed for some major ones? Also some stores close at 8/9 on weekdays, 7 on Saturday and Sunday and require you to work weekends….so if you’re a parent just plan to not have much of a home life.
